EMPLOYER AND INDIVIDUAL DELAYS PROVIDE FAIRNESS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, the President made
inaccurate promises when he shoved a 2,000-page health care takeover
bill through both Houses of a Democrat-controlled Congress. Now he is
usurping power again by choosing to relieve employers from the higher
taxes and increased government regulations mandated by the Unaffordable
Care Act that still requires individuals to suffer. For a President who
says he is for fairness, this decision protects Big Business and
targets American families, taking more from their paychecks.
House Republicans are acting to protect every American from the
unworkable provisions by voting to repeal both the employer and
individual mandates. ObamaCare is an unworkable, unaffordable law that
destroys jobs, disrupts the doctor-patient relationship, and promotes
uncertainty for future generations. As a proponent of limited
government, I fully remain committed to defunding, dismantling, or
repealing ObamaCare to provide the fairness necessary to allow every
American family to make their own health care decisions.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
